    Not unless you want to revert to the previous Unraid release?

     

    you might want to check out the different themes?  The Azure one for instance is closer to the old style.

    sweet, excuse the ignorance do i need to download a new theme or its just a setting?

    Mixing 10Gbe SFP cards compatability?

    in Storage Devices and Controllers

    Gents,

     

    Pleae excuse the ignorance, appologies in advance.

     

    Taking in account that both the HP NC523SFP and Mellanox mnpa19-xtr cards are supported is it possible to connect these together via DAC or fibre, I have been running 2 Mellanox cards but wanted a 2 port card on my unraid box. 

    I have a SFP+ DAC and pair of compatible Mellanox gbics (10Gtek MFM1T02A-SR) and fibre OM4 LC LC MM duplex  working fine with the card, would this work with the HP?

     

    Thanks

    Array does not spin down after upgrade from 6.4.1

    Go to   Settings   >>>   Disk Settings   and tell  us what the value for the   "Tunable (poll_attributes):" is set to.  I seem tecall that this parameter also controls how often the disks are polled to determine their status.

    Try setting it to 60  (that would be 60 seconds between polls).  As I recall, that will update the Spun-up/Spun-down icon every sixty seconds rather than every thirty minutes.  (Don't do this if you have a slow CPU or have any processes running that need a lot of real time responsiveness. )

    I'll try 900 which is 15 minutes?, 30 mins poll might be the issue with icons only..

    Array does not spin down after upgrade from 6.4.1

    Gents,

     

    My array doesn't spin down as expected after 15 minutes if I upgrade from 6.4.1, I had this problem previously so I reverted back to 6.4.1, tonight I attempted to once again upgrade to new release 6.5.3 and the same problem occurs.

    As far as I can see no one is accessing the shares, no activity on the disks, no VMs, only 1 active docker MariaDB which is not being used either. If I spin down the array manually the disks dont spin up again and stay powered down.

     

    Any suggestions or advice in where to start troubleshooting this?

     

    I have copied the info from the log section

     

    Thanks in advance

    fibre parts to use with MNPA19-XTR

    in Storage Devices and Controllers

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

    I got a  SFP+ DAC cable, but also wanted to fiber connection with the peer to peer MNPA19-XTR for a potential longer run. What 10Gbe fiber module do you recommend and cable? There seem to be a lot of choices on ebay cisco, HP, IBM 850nm v.s 1610nm etc?

     

    Some parts and explanation on differences would be fantastic

     

    Thanks very much in adavnce

    6Gen mini-itx 1151 Motherboard with 2 x pcie x 16?

    in Motherboards and CPUs

    Posted · Edited by majorspawn

    Hi Gents,

     

    Looking to replace my mini-atx motherboard (ASRock B150M-ITX/D3 ) Intel B150 running an intel i3-6100 cpu and DDR with IBM SAS M1015 card in a Li-lan pc-q25 case. 

     

    Looking for an equivilant mini-itx/dtx board to support the exisitng memory and cpu but with 2 x pcie ports so that i can add an ASUS XG-C100C 10Gbe card into the system in conjunction to the exirtitng ibm 1015 card. There are a few options for a Gen8 1151 socket cpu's. Anyone has a suggestion for a Gen 6 (intel i3-6100 cpu) MB with the required slots and atleast 4 sata slots?

     

    Thanks

    Konrad

    Mini-pcie to PCI express x 16 with ASUS XG-C100C 10Gbe

    in Storage Devices and Controllers

    Posted

    Look here, https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B150M-ITXD3/index.asp

     

    The mini pcie socket is on RHS of the 5 sata ports.

     

    I ended up purchasing the SATA 4 port card instead, 

     

    is anyone able to verify if the card would work with Unraid?

     

    the spec for the MB states that the minipcie port is for  "**This Mini-PCI Express Slot supports WiFi and mSATA devices" I took the risk assuming that it woudl work with the marvel SATA board above?

     

    Also if most of these Mpcie ports are reserved for wifi or Msata devices how do people get these working with the Pciex16 raiser cards and video cards?

     

    Thanks,

    Konrad

    Mini-pcie to PCI express x 16 with ASUS XG-C100C 10Gbe

    in Storage Devices and Controllers

    Posted · Edited by majorspawn

    Hi Guys,

     

    My ASRock B150M-ITX/D3 comes with 1 x PCiex16 slot which I am currently using with a IBM SAS M1015 card. I wanted to add a ASUS XG-C100C 10Gbe into the setup but the only free slot that I have onboard is a mini pcie. I found these mini pcie to pcie x 16 riaser / converter boards here:

     

    I was wondering if anyone had experiance with these working in unraid in conjunction with a SAS card like the IBM SAS M1015 card or the  ASUS 10GBE card

     

    My preffered option is:

    1. Move the IBM 1015 to the converter board above and utilise the MB pcie slot for the 10 GBe card as the SAs cable is internal.

    or 

    2. flip it the other way

    or

     

    3.  remove the IBM 1015 out of the equasion and use the mini pcie with a mini pcie to SATA 4 port card instead as this would give me (5 x sata onboard and 4 additional which should be enough for my setup)

     

     

    So unsure if these 2 cards mentioned above would work or have any bandwidth issues etc.

     

    OR

     

    4. Change the motherboard to a mini-dtx board as my case is Lian Li PC-Q25 which has 2 x pxie slots, Can someone reccomend a board with a socket 1151 with 2 pcie slots to rrun both cards and atleast 4 or 5 onboard sata 3  ports

     

     

    any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated

     

    Thanks

    Konrad

    Notes:

     

    The N54L Microserver pictured comes with the following additions:

     

        8GB Ram PC3-10600 DDR3 800MHz

        Custom professionally made custom Lian-Li External enclosure with 2 x 3.5" sata drive bays and room below for an additional 1 x 2.5" drive such as SSD. The enclosure directly plugs into the back of the Microserver via 4 pin power supply cable and is powered via the existing Microserver power supply which is nice and neat.

        A IcyDock DuoSwap enclosure

        Sata to ESATA low profile bracket

     

     

    Please note that the N54L comes with a total of 6 Sata connections, 4 via hotswap, 1 ESATA externally and 1 SATA onboard. To take advantage of the maximum 10 disks you will need an optional SAS / SATA  controller via the PCIE port (not included) and the pictured low profile 2 port Sata to ESATA bracket (included) Please note that the server comes stock with a 150W power supply, in order to run 10 disks a new power supply needs to be upgraded, a recommended power supply is the Seasonic SS-350M1U which provides a total of 32A on the 12V rail. (not included but recommended) This is the power supply that I have used with the unit previously.

     

    Please feel free to ask any questions

     

    I am also selling the a pair of KVR1333D3E9Sk2/16GB ECC UDIM Pair which is one of the only few ram types which work with the N54L and register 16GB of Ram. Please see my other items for sale if your interested as this ram was used with this server and works very well. Its also very hard to source.

     

    Pick-up is preferred due to size and weight of items, pickup from Leichhardt 2040 business hours or Fairfield 2165 by appointment only

     

    Looking for a local sale within Sydney will let go off the server + ram+ duoswap + external cage + bracket for $350 if sold privately.

    ... one other option might be to build a Haswell-based system.  There are several nice mini-ITX server-class boards for Haswell.    Not sure if those are available in Australia or not.    This extended ITX board with 14 SATA ports fits in a Q25B as long as you're using an SFX power supply:  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157486

    Looks great!,looks like its EOL in Australia :( not sourcable
